Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool have endured a difficult start to their season. After humbling Arsenal at Anfield in late August, it has all gone downhill for the Reds, losing Sadio Mane to injury and managing just two wins in their last ten games.
Liverpool's defence has ben nothing short of woeful at times this season and their much revered attacking line-up, who have misfired on occasion too, have been unable to score enough to compensate for the leaky backline.
It seemed as though the Reds may have turned a corner after thrashing Slovenian side Maribor 0-7 in the Champions League, but after Tottenham made frighteningly light work of Klopp's side, it seems they are back to square one.
Now, Liverpool will welcome newly promoted side Huddersfield Town to Anfield as they look to put a difficult period behind them. However, what makes this fixture all the more interesting is that the Terriers are managed by Klopp's close personal friend David Wagner.
The two played together at Mainz, worked together at Dortmund, and Wagner was even Klopp's best man at his wedding. Wagner however, had always played the role of understudy to his good friend, managing the Dortmund reserves while Klopp was given the reigns of the first team.
